[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 10% go to ivies. Many kids (250+) go to SUNYs and CUNYs. It is a class of 900 students. [/quote]

40% go to Ivies in a typical year[/quote]

No way.  It’s been about 10%, give or take, for a while now.

From the INS link, I see about 30% to Ivies.

Cornell alone took 15%.[/quote]
But the instagram only has 250 posts that's less thana 1/3 of the graduating class.  You think it's possible that the kids that got inot the better schools are more likely to link.
For example I know that a ton of kids go to stonybrook and binghamptom.  Each of those schools typically get more stuy grads than cornell but the instagram shows more cornell students than stonybrook and binghamptom combined.[/quote]

Point taken.  But if you told me only 10% stuy goes to Ivies, that is still unbelievably low!  For real?

Stuyvesant population gets hit by prejudice and low ratings on likability-  see Harvard lawsuit for details.  They actually put one of the Stuy college counselors on the stand, and she cried when describing how the kids were treated unfairly.

Study does really well at just below the tippy top level - UChicago, Emory, etc.[/quote]

Uchicago is one of the ivy-pluses - equivalent to columbia. 
Emory is one or two notch below.

If you count all Ivies + MIT, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, JHU, Duke, Caltech, Stuy probably still have about 30%?

PP here.  That was question.  Could any Stuy parent provide an answer?  Thanks.[/quote]

I don’t think this statistics is being collected, and given how huge the school is, any grass roots efforts are incomplete.  The guidance counselor’s can tell you the data for each school - applied/ admitted, but this data is skewed by the kids who get in multiple Ivy + schools; given the socioeconomics, most Stuy students do not ED.

And if you look at where people are attending, again, there are many considerations that are different from a typical suburban highly rated HS.  For example, many MC students chose Macaulay program because it’s absolutely free or the honors at Stony Brook where they only pay room and board.  Some kids do not want to leave NYC because of family or work, so they consider NYC schools only.   The artsy kids definitely tend to stay.[/quote]
